Cash Back Program: Ebates

Ebates is another great Cash Back program to use both personally and for referrals (passive income).  Just about anything you want to buy online is available.  Before you buy online, check through their list of websites and click on the store's link.  When you make a purchase, the specified percentage will be deposited into your Ebates account within a few days.  Here's some of the big stores that are available and an example of their cash back deals:

Tiger Direct: 2.5% cash back

Kohl's: 6.0% cash back

Staples: 4.0% cash back

Amazon: up to 20% cash back!

Of course, these deals may change depending on different promotions that they are running, but overall, you can save tons shopping through the site.

How it works:

1. Go to Ebates and browse the list of stores to find the one you want to purchase from.
2. Click the Shop Now link to go through to the store's website.
3. Make your purchase.
4. Percent cash back appears in your account within a few days.
5. Payouts are made quarterly if your balance is greater than $5.01.

Referral Program:

Grow your passive income through their Ebates referral program in which you can earn $5 for each qualified referral.  A qualified referral must sign up via your referral link and make at least a $25 purchase.  They are currently running a bonus program where you can earn additional money for adding multiple qualified referrals.
